Backup Check & Restore Test

We review your existing backups and test the restore – before an emergency does.

Who is it for?

Companies that already have data backups but have never verified whether anything can actually be restored from them in an emergency.

Almost every company has a data backup. But a backup nothing has ever been restored from is just a hope: backup jobs run empty, miss important folders or databases, or are hit by the same ransomware as the original data – and that often only becomes apparent when it's too late.

  • When was a restore from your backup last actually rehearsed – not just the backup job checked?
  • Do you know whether all business-critical data (including databases, email, and cloud services) is really included in the backup?
  • How long would it take for your business to be operational again after data loss – and how do you know?

Verification instead of assumption

We examine your existing backup in detail: what is backed up, how often, where to, how long it's retained – and what's missing? We also assess whether your backup would have withstood typical risks such as ransomware encryption or accidental deletion.

The actual proof: the test restore

We then restore individual files and – depending on scope – entire systems as a test. Only this step shows whether your backup holds up in an emergency: whether the data is readable, the restore completes in a reasonable time, and your most important applications come back up.

A report with clear recommendations

You receive an understandable report: what works, where the gaps are, and which measures we recommend in which order. That lets you improve things in a targeted way – with us if you like, for example via our online backup or a full emergency exercise.

Frequently asked questions

Our backup runs every night without errors – isn't that enough?

An error-free backup job only says the backup ran – not that anything usable can be restored from it. Missing folders, corrupted backup files, or databases that weren't included only show up in a real test restore.

How does the backup check differ from an emergency exercise?

The backup check focuses on your data backup and its restorability. An emergency exercise goes further and rehearses the emergency as a whole – including procedures, responsibilities, and communication. The backup check is the sensible first step.

Does the test affect our ongoing operations?

No, the test restore happens in a separate environment without touching your production data. We schedule appointments so your team can keep working undisturbed.

What happens if you find gaps?

That's exactly what the check is for: you receive the gaps documented, prioritized, and with concrete recommendations. Whether you implement them yourself or commission us is your decision – the report is yours either way.
